Reich den Pokal mir schäumenden Weines voll, Reich mir die Lippen zum Kusse, die blühenden, Rühre die Saiten, die seelenberauschenden! Feuer des Mutes brennt im Pokale mir, Gluten der Liebe glühn auf der Lippe dir, Flammen des Lebens rauschen die Saiten mir. Woge des Kampfes, reiß in die Brandung mich! Wogen der Liebe, hebt zu den Wolken mich! Schäumendes Leben, jubelnd begrüß ich dich!

Hand me the goblet full of effervescent wine, Reach me your blossom-like lips to kiss, Strike the lute-strings that can intoxicate the soul! In that cup burns the fire of courage, On your lips blazes the fervor of love, The chords rouse the flame of life in me. Wave of battle, drag me to the breakers! Waves of love, lift me to the clouds! Effervescent life, I greet you with jubilation!
